I voted poor. I consider myself a pretty open and unbiased person when it comes to music. Ive never reallly been a fan of Coldplay and what they do. They're pretty unoriginal if you ask me. All of their albums are attempts to capture someone else's sounds.....does anyone else notice this? parachutes sounds uncannily like a Dave Matthews tribute band, with new original music and lyrics. The same applies to Viva la Vida, only the artist they're trying to mimic this time is U2. For what's its worth, they're good at what they do, but what they do is get rich on other people's sound. I go for artists who strive for originality, not for picking up where other bands left off. That's just bad form.
